Brian’s Comic Book Picks for Feb. 6th

Age of Ultron #1

It’s Marvel’s next big event. Ultron is back and doing more damage than he ever has before. It’s Hank Pym’s baby mechanical boy and it’s his world now. Everyone else is just renting space.

For years the heroes of the Marvel Universe have lived in fear that the artificial intelligence known as Ultron would one day evolve to fulfill its desire to wipe out all organic life and take over the Earth — that day has arrived. This massive 10-part Marvel Universe-spanning event is brought to you by Eisner award-winning writer Brian Michael Bendis and comics legend Bryan Hitch.

Snapshot #2 (of 4)

This mini-series features two of my favorite creators in the artist Jock and writer Andy Diggle. They combine their forces one more to bring this tale of a man being played who changes the rules of the game.

Jake’s life spirals into nightmare as he finds himself hunted by the very hit-man who has framed him for murder. Maybe the victim’s daughter can give Jake the key to the mystery. . . if he lives that long! Continuing the new thriller from the creators of The Losers and Green Arrow: Year One!

A Plus X #5

I am all about this one because it teams up Doop and Iron Fist. The cover hadme sold. I don’t even care what it’s about or why they are teaming up. Brilliant.

Zeb Wells and Dale Keown spin a story bringing Iron Man and Beast together!Kathryn Immonen and David Lafuente tell the tale of Iron Fist and Doop’s first adventure!
